What is a Sneak Attack?
It's a way to support independant artisans who are trying to sell their wares online. Two days a week at an appointed time, an Etsy shop with few or no sales is announced on this site. As many people as possible then buy items from that shop, resulting in a frenzy of surprise business to the unsuspecting shop! To the upper right is the current Sneak Attack schedule. To participate, show up on this site at or soon after the time of the next attack and you'll see the chosen shop name in the box above. Then go to that shop and purchase an item, making sure to include the words "Sneak Attack" in the "message to seller". It's also fun to tune into the current thread on Etsy to talk about it with other "attackers".

August 1st: Giveaway: 2 stunning pairs of earrings!!
August 1– August 19:
579 Jewlery on Etsy is giving away 2 stunning pairs of earrings!!
Neutral, beautiful, pretty, simple earrings! Earrings are stunning grey beads with kind of a periwinkle tint set on ornamented head pins finished with silver toned ear wires.
Earrings are about 1 3/4 inches (5cm) in total length.
These beautiful earrings are simply an acrylic and metal bead on a head pin finished with silver-toned fish hooks. Simple, citrus-y, fun! The translucent acrylic beads look like hard candies…although I am afraid that they wouldn’t taste as good!
Approximate length 1 3/4 inches total (4.5cm).

Best friends Sarah and Laury love making jewelry! From Texas to Florida and now in separate towns, they have continued their friendship and hobby
